Hi,
I have a wireless wire kit (two RBwAP-60ad that are the). I want to transfer some Jumbo Packets (8192 bytes) from the ethernet port of one RBwAP-60ad over Wifi to the ethernet port of the other RBwAP-60ad. But the problem is: The data can’t be fragmented, because the program that receives the data isn’t able to handle these datas.
My settings are: Ethernet port 1: MTU = 9014, Max L2 MTU = 9214,
Wlan60-1: MTU = 1600 , L2 MTU = 1600,
Ethernet port 2: MTU = 9014, Max L2 MTU = 9214,
IP → DNS → Max UDP Packet size = 9014,
Is there any possibility to transfer unfragmented und untouched jumbo packets with the bridge?
How does the RBwAP-60ad transfer the packets? Will they be fragmented und divided into packets of the size of 1600bytes and reassembled into jumbo packets after the wlan transfer?
Hey, thanks for your reply. I did not get the bridge to work with the data. But I think the problem is not the data, it is the bridge. The bridge is blackholing the data. The data gets dropped when it should get put to the Wifi connection. Is there a way I can prevent the data from getting lost? port forwarding or Vlan or anything like that? How can i avoid blackholing?
Thanks.
According to the https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Maximum_Transmission_Unit_on_RouterBoards ethernet can handle jumbo frames, but wireless can’t. So you can’t just bridge them, that will not work.
You have to create PPPoE server on one side and client on the other, configured to pass the jumbo frames - that’s the only protocol that can do that. Normal bridging or routing will not work.
Read the WIKI pages properly and maybe first start by setting up PPPoE for normal packets, then bump up MTUs to support jumbo frames when it’s working.
Note that I haven’t personally tried this, so can’t guarantee it will work… but it should, unless there are some bugs or special reasons that would prevent this from working.
